1. Organization

Western Refining Logistics, LP ("WNRL" or the "Partnership") is a Delaware limited partnership formed in July 2013 by Western Refining Logistics GP, LLC ("WRGP" or the "General Partner"), our general partner. WRGP is 100% owned by Western Refining, Inc. ("Western") and holds all of the non-economic general partner interests in WNRL.

WNRL is a growth-oriented partnership that was formed to own, operate, develop and acquire logistics and related assets and businesses including terminals, storage tanks, pipelines and other logistics assets related to the terminalling, transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil and refined products.

On October 15, 2014, we acquired all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Western Refining Wholesale, LLC (“WRW”), which owned substantially all of Western’s wholesale assets in the Southwest U.S. We acquired these interests pursuant to a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement, dated September 25, 2014, as amended (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among us, Western, Western Refining Southwest, Inc., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Western ("WRSW"), and our general partner, in exchange for consideration of $320 million in cash and 1,160,092 additional common units.
